Sander Levin refuses to hold hearing on health care rationing

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Sander Levin (D-Mich.) is refusing to hold public hearings to examine administration plans to implement a new health care rationing system at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).

The president’s new Medicare Rationing Czar, Sir Donald Berwick, is a big fan of British health care rationing.

“The decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open,” Berwick said in an interview prior to his recess appointment to head CMS.

Will government death panel bureaucrats bar age-related pacemaker surgery for grandma and prescribe a pain pill instead -- as President Obama recommends?

try infusing some facts with your panic language. no one should be taking a death panel pill.

perhaps you don't understand that if there is a limited supply of something--that means you have to budget. you can call it ration too.

i thought you republican types were all about responsibility and against wanton spending?

get some consistency.

oh. but you probably want government to stay out of your life, but you want government to say who it's ok to marry.

so much for the consistency hope.
